The local filming of a Bluegrass Cellular TV commercial slated for Friday morning has been moved until Sunday afternoon due to a rainy weather forecast.

Extras are still needed, and anyone interested in being part of the commercial should arrive in downtown Springfield at the parking lot behind Rumpke across from B&E Furniture by 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Participants must sign a release to be in the commercial, and anyone under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian sign the release on their behalf.

Hey, Springfield, do you want to be in a commercial? Then put on your favorite casual weekend wear and head to downtown Springfield Friday morning. The town has been selected as the location for a new television commercial from Bluegrass Cellular, and you are asked to be a part of the filming.

The St. Catharine College volleyball team will play volleyball Saturday with a cause. Three matches will be played in Lourdes Hall Saturday with the entire gate proceeds to benefit breast cancer research.

If you like to ride horses, then you have the chance to saddle up and help provide needy children with Christmas gifts this year by participating in the Washington County 4-H Toys for Tots Trail Ride on Saturday, Oct. 10 at Camp Calvary in Mackville.

Blue vs. Gray. The Hatfields vs. the McCoys. The Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote. The road of history is paved with heated rivalries. It’s no secret that when it comes to the Border War between Washington and Marion counties, things can get as serious as any major conflict. That’s why, when these two teams clash on the gridiron, it’s time to give it all you have and play for bragging rights.

I always feel like fall has officially begun when Springfield hosts their annual festival the first weekend in October. The Crossroads Harvest Festival, Oct. 2 – 4 will include many activities and will involve many community members including 4-H. The 4-H Young Riders will be holding their annual horse rides at the corner of Depot and Armory Hill and the 4-H Sharpshooters will be selling cotton candy, soft drinks and tickets for their annual giveaway on Cross Main close to the intersection of Depot Street.

Until county revenues pick up and an end to the economic slump is in the foreseeable future, the Washington County Fiscal Court is doing everything they can to account for every penny in the coffer. That includes cutting back on spending that may have come easily before, but is difficult to give up now.
